Chapter 65
Xiao Shan came out of Zhou's house and went up to the street, looking for a carriage everywhere, but none of them wanted to drive under such a dark moonlight, especially if they had to travel a long distance to the frontier fortress.

In desperation, Xiao Shan took out half of the silver and bought a carriage before going on the road.

The road was bumpy, and it was his first time driving, so he nearly overturned the carriage a few times on the way. If the horse could talk, it would laugh at why there are such stupid people.

The bumps on the mountain road are fine. There is no lamp or torch for lighting. It is very difficult for Xiaoshan to distinguish the route at night. I took the wrong route several times, and turned back when I found something wrong.

Fortunately, he finally arrived at the army camp in the frontier at dawn.

Today's barracks are not as casual as they used to be, not to mention a lot of checkpoints, and many new faces.All the students were tall and rough, with a fierce appearance, which made people tremble when they saw it, and Xiao Shan didn't dare to go forward to ask.I'm afraid that the swords and guns in the hands of the guards are speechless, and they will poke themselves.

But the matter was urgent, so he still bite the bullet and squeeze forward, playing both soft and hard ways. He passed one checkpoint but was blocked by the next checkpoint, and was driven out of Xiaoshan several times on the way.In the end, he had to thank his old father's old face to get in.

There are still some veterans who have not left here, and they have received the old man Su's pot of old wine before, and they have felt the immeasurable favor. When they saw that it was the boy of the Su family, they approached enthusiastically, Xiao Shan finally entered.

But Nie Wuhuan was not in the camp, not even the lieutenant general who knew Xiao Shan was there, so Xiao Shan had no choice but to follow a guard guard to a tent and began a long wait.

After waiting for several hours, no one came back. Su Xiaoshan secretly went out to look for the soldier he had known before, but after inquiring, the soldier had already retired and returned to his hometown, the day after General Zhou left. The one who left had nothing to do at the moment, Xiao Shan stood there staring blankly.

Under normal circumstances, even if the coach is not there, there will be someone in charge here.However, today I don't know why it is such a coincidence that even the person in charge is not there.Xiao Shan had no choice but to return to the tent again, leaning on a soft couch covered with clothes, until he was drowsy, but still did not wait for Nie Wuhuan.

At dawn, the guards who were on duty outside came in and pushed Xiao Shan's shoulder, "Little brother, come eat with me."

"Ah, uncle, the prince hasn't come back yet?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back now. The prince has been very busy recently, and he will only come back after going out for two or three days."

"Why, something happened?" Xiao Shan kept asking after the old man who was about the same size as him.There was a coldness in his heart, if he couldn't find Nie Wuhuan, how would he go back to do business?Needless to say, Su Jiu would reprimand him, even he himself would not forgive himself.He didn't want to watch Zhou Xiang make things difficult for his own family. Although Zhou Xiang was a son of a family, he had a good character. He didn't have the bad temper of those sons of other families. He was able to make friends with poor people like them. Xiao Shan naturally admired it.

Xiao Shan made up his mind to meet the prince no matter what, even if he didn't use the relationship between Su Jiu and Nie Wuhuan, he still wanted to use his own method to ask Nie Wuhuan to help.Big deal, work here and return the money to him.

In the world of Xiaoshan, the ideas are simpler, but they are all from the heart.

"Recently, there are some urgent matters in the frontier fortress. The prince often returns to the imperial city, but he will come back in a few days, because of this matter. Hey, little brother, this is a secret in the army, so I can't tell you in detail. Let's go Come on, I'll serve you a bowl of mutton soup to warm you up in the morning."

"Then where do I go to find the prince?"

"The prince's whereabouts are uncertain, and we don't know where to look. Don't worry, you will always come back. If you have nothing important, just wait here. You have been asked to come in, so don't worry. Let's go!"

Su Xiaoshan nodded, making up his mind to sit here and wait for Nie Wuhuan to come back like a rabbit, and to get things done no matter what, so his heart was at ease.

"How is your father recently? He hasn't come for a few days, and everyone is thinking about it."

"Hey, my father is doing well, even if the farmer in the field is not good recently, my father is also worried, so he has no intention to come here."

"It's useless to worry about it. We can still help if we have any difficulties. The food is pretty good recently. You can't make him hungry when everyone is full. Your whole family can come over." The old man patted Guaranteed by the chest.

Xiaoshan knew that it was just bragging, but now it is different.

In the past, he often came to play with the old man Su, and he liked to sneak into the military division's tent to read, and no one looked after him for a whole night, and even provided water and food.Since the prince came here, the management of the military camp is very strict now, and it is difficult for them to come in, let alone come here to play, why are they talking about drinking and eating? !
"My father has been a little busy recently, so he will definitely come over later." Xiao Shan sneered to smooth things over.

"Hey, little brother is really good at talking. I think you can see that we are not the same as before. But this is also good. It's better than not knowing how to deal with something."

"What happened in the army?" Xiao Shan was full of interest.

"Hey, it's not a big deal. The last time I encountered bandits in the army, and there were always gangsters making trouble in those days, and they were killers from the Northern Dynasty. Hehe, I want to rob our girls here for an excuse and sell them to brothels. Actually Ah, it is to steal our military secret letter. Fortunately, the prince is here, and he will not leak anything about this matter, and will catch those people all at once. The prince is really powerful. If it is changed from the past, if it is so lax and not stopped, the consequences will be disastrous .”

Xiao Shan was delighted all the way, he had never seen such a novel and major event, and he felt fresh and exciting when he heard people say this, and he came here to serve as an army after the truth told the book.

The old man led Su Xiaoshan to the tent of the back kitchen, opened the curtain, bent down and got in, he didn't forget to turn his head and tug at Su Xiaoshan who was standing there in a daze, "Come, come in."

After getting into the camp tent, a burst of aroma suddenly rushed to his face, and the glutton in Su Xiaoshan's stomach was called out.

The old man pressed his shoulders, pressed him on a log chair, brought over a bowl of mutton soup over there, and drank it loudly, "Drink it, this mutton belly is very strong, it's really strong , drink more, but I'll serve it for you again."

The old man put a large bowl of steaming mutton soup in front of Su Xiaoshan, and before he put two big pancakes in front of him, he filled a bowl with himself, but he didn't let go of it in his hand, let alone sit down, lol Seeing Su Xiaoshan feasting, he took two sips to moisten his throat before he spoke, "I have to go out to patrol, so I won't accompany you. I'll just go there after eating by myself, and call me if I need anything."

Su Xiaoshan nodded and smiled to thank him. Before he could speak, the old man opened the curtain with the mutton soup and left.

The number of people eating in the camp gradually decreased, and Su Xiaoshan also drank vigorously without being polite.

At this time, the mother-in-law came over with a smile after finishing her work over there.

Su Xiaoshan looked at the old lady who filled her with mutton soup and smiled, then started eating sullenly.

"Young man, are you a recruit? I haven't seen you before." The old lady touched the oil on her hand, squatted down and sat opposite Su Xiaoshan.

Su Xiaoshan smiled shyly, stuffed his mouth full, and said after a long time, "I'm not a soldier, I'm here to talk to the prince."

"Really? The prince is not in the army. I haven't seen anyone for two days. Shouldn't he be returning to the imperial city?!"

"No, just now a veteran said that the lord was out on business and it's time to come back."

"Oh, that means he has returned from the imperial city."

"Yes." Su Xiaoshan happily agreed.

"I heard that something happened to the palace. The prince's side concubine had a miscarriage. She was crazy. She also said that one of the concubines in the courtyard died. The prince was scared for several days before going back. Why did he come back within two days? Hey, little brother, you're not a soldier looking for the prince to do something, isn't it for this matter?" The mother-in-law looked delighted, just waiting for her gossiping heart to be compensated.

"Hey, my mother-in-law is talking nonsense again. It's not about the palace, it's about the side concubine's house." The person who took the conversation was busy in the back kitchen. He couldn't see the face, only a fat body was there. As he moved, there was an occasional thumping sound, as if he was chopping wood.

"Hey, look at me, I didn't understand the situation. But, the prince is embarrassing enough. It is said that the prince's seat depends on the side concubine's natal family, but who doesn't know, the prince is really capable, even the day The emperor has to be courteous. Hehe, no one is happy to marry a tigress at home."

"Go away, mother-in-law, you are talking nonsense again. No one can compare the position of the prince. The emperor is not fake, it is because the prince does not want to be the emperor. Hey, but no one can say that the prince has real skills. Now, in the court hall, in the army camp, what is the prince who can't do well? That's right..."

The fat aunt let out a long sigh, only heard two "puffs", blew on her fist, raised her hand, and the ax in her hand fell down, the wood was split, and the fat aunt's voice came again "What's the side concubine's name? Qingyu's natal family has a lot of things to do. They want to use the imperial power to suppress the prince, but they are actually afraid that the prince will suppress their family. Who doesn't know that the imperial prince is secretly an enemy with the prince! There is nothing to say about it." Clear. Hey, little brother, why are you here looking for the prince?"

After batching the firewood, the fat aunt came out, holding the firewood in her arms, threw it on the ground crackling, and turned her head to laugh at Su Xiaoshan.

Su Xiaoshan wiped off the sweat that was a little numb from the heat on his face, only to see a dark and strong aunt walking over there, she smiled very friendly, but her greasy body made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Xiaoshan is naive, but he is not a fool, especially after hearing what the two said, he must understand a little bit.Knowing that her sister has an unusual relationship with Nie Wuhuan, it's fine for her to talk about such things, but she can't say it in front of outsiders, and be fueled behind her back as a talking point.

Xiao Shan grew up in a mountain village, and knows that those mothers-in-law and aunts are always talking and writing about nothing, some of them are not, and their parents are short-sighted, so they can make up all kinds of tricks.

Xiao Shan thought about it for a while, then immediately settled down and didn't say a word.

With a huge smell of mutton on the top of the hill, he took another sip of mutton soup, and smiled kindly at her and said, "It's just something, hehe..."

"Hey, it's still a secret, don't worry, as long as it's something in the army, we'll know within three days. Have you eaten well? If not, I'll get you steamed buns. Look at this kid's skinny."

Su Xiaoshan nodded in satisfaction, "I'm full, hehe, thank you two aunts."

"Hey, Xiaoshan, come here, the prince is back." The old man who hurried outside shouted at the tent.

Xiao Shan opened his mouth again, smiled at the two aunts, got up and ran away.
